What do you love about doing hair?Everything! It's science, math, and art all in one. We cut, style, color our dead keratin strands -- how cool is that!

What's your secret weapon for great hair? Knowledge and curiosity.

What are your style influences?Vintage looks, classic hairstyles, modern sharpness, and textures all influence my eye and my hand.

What inspires you as a hairstylist? My daughter inspires me to keep learning and gives me a new perspective on everything.

What's your approach with new clients?Patience, careful listening, and an open mind. It can be hard to explain what it is you’re going for style-wise, but that’s definitely okay – that’s what I’m here to help with! Together we can figure out how to get to a look that you’ll love.

What's the best hair advice you've ever been given?It's just hair – play, have fun with it, and just see what happens.

What inspired you to become a hairstylist?I've always known I wanted to be a stylist, and my grandma helped me achieve my dream.

Tell us about your education and professional experience. I’m a licensed cosmetology instructor and stylist. I've taken a good deal of continuing education classes, including texture razor cutting, advanced color, clipper technique, and all sorts of cutting technique classes.

Life and interests outside of VAIN?Hanging out on the beach with my daughter and our dogs Chimichanga and Fizzgig.
